Another busy day for me with the girlfriend :D well I say it was busy we were mainly just chilling out at mine but still great fun.
Here's a picture I took on my walk home after walking her home this evening, pretty much every day I will walk this Hill, usually up and down in that day, its not a massive hill and from the picture you can't really tell but it can be tiring to walk on especially when your already tired from a long day, Dunno why but I decided that it was a nice picture and so I thought I'd post it here! (I know its bad quality was walking at the time and used my blackberry to take it but the sky still looks nice haha)

Anyway my walk home was extended today by about an extra 40 minutes as my girlfriends brother had forgotten some of his stuff before he left and me being the ever so lovely boyfriend offered to take it to him as he was at some friends of his in my town so I could meet him somewhere on my way back, was kinda chilly and had to wait around for him but got it done and hopefully it will help me stay in the good books of my girlfriends mom :)

Saw the trailer to the new Conan The Barbarian movie! :O Wow, it looks pretty awesome I must say and for those who were nerdy enough to watch Stargate Atlantis would recognise the actor playing Conan as the same guy who played Ronan Dex.

Very quick post, back from Skegness (yes weird name don't know why haha) had a great weekend with the girlfriend wandering around the beach, some arcades and the usual stuff you do at the beach :D
Couldn't get and pictures as phone was too low battery sorry, weather was pretty good for England in the summer, has mainly sun and wind but was really nice.

Might be a few days till I can get things rolling with stuff for the blog again, still busy, very tired and just don't have a great amount of time.
Trying to think of something to talk about to fill this up a little bit but have no real ideas my brain has kinda melted, if I didn't go back and change all the typo's in this where I get one letter before the one before it like this: weher it would take 20 minutes to translate haha.

Sleep time now,

Daily Post 21

Been a few days since I posted a Daily, as always been really busy but still managed to get Minecraft Monday posted and the new HSG Competition up and running, Hopefully you have checked it out, I admit I probably didn't choose the best game for this but it was the first one that came to mind when I needed a game I could embed. Maybe I'll have a better one next month sorry if you don't like the game.

Having caught up with all of Yogscast Minecraft videos I was forced to look for more things to watch and again StarCraft 2 has taken my eye, watching Total Biscuit play and cast  many different matches is quite fun :D

Looking forward to the coming Weekend it should be really awesome, however for the blog it will be a likely gap in content again...Sorry!, Saturday I've got a party with my girlfriends Mom's friends who are awesome haha You might ask, why and how did you end up being invited to a party with your girlfriend and her Mom and her friends? Well it started months back, the first party they had, they had invited my girlfriend but she didn't want to go alone thinking that 'it would be really boring' cause she didn't know the people and well who thinks that their mothers friends are going to be awesome?
So I got dragged along to this first one and well it was a blast! the people were cool, relaxed and generally it was really fun.
Now her Mom's friend is having another party so we are invited again! :D so we are going on Saturday which will be awesome, however we might not be able to stay as late as last time (like 1am then an hour walk home from my girlfriends house haha) cause on Sunday me, my family and my girlfriend are going to Skegness! (for those out the UK which is most of you, its basically the beach xD) and are leaving in the morning so want to be able to get up on Sunday required Saturday not being too late, I'm thinking around 12 to finish get home for 1AM then sleep for 6 hours :)

As you can tell I've got a busy weekend, I can't wait its gunna be awesome :D

Might get some pictures from Skegness so if there are any good ones I'll post them here but unfortunately the weather is likely to be quite dull, typical British summer.

Minecraft Monday Week 2

Unfortunately I am unable to show you what I have been working on as it is no where near finished and I don't want to post any pictures of it until it is complete, so you will probably have to wait until next week of that!
Anyway if you read last weeks Minecraft Monday you will know that I said I would talk a little about Notch, So here's a small bit about the guy behind the whole of Minecraft!

From Wiki: Markus Alexej Persson (commonly known as "Notch") is a Swedish C++, ActionScript, and Java programmer, and is also the founder of Mojang AB. He is currently developing the video game Minecraft.

Notch or Markus whatever you want to call him worked for many different game companies including the website king.com making small flash games for them, to be honest it seems like he was destined to create video games after making a text based adventure game at age 8 and wow has he developed an amazing game of his own for himself! He left king.com to create Minecraft and I don't believe he expected the game to be anywhere near as popular as it is right know and it is probable that he never expected to make more than a few thousand from the game in the end!
For more information on Notch try these sites!
http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Notch
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markus_Persson

Now what else did I say I would talk about....Crafting....well it's so important I think I will dedicate a whole post to it so that shall be left till next time I think everyone :)

Currently Minecraft has very little in a way of 'things to do' by this I mean it is open or sandbox where you can do what you want and there is also the little achievement feature which can help guide new players in things to do, but with Notch announcing 'Adventure Mode' to be a major patch in the future it is almost certain that the game will develop even more! currently many people make 'Adventure Maps' where others can play the story that they have created within the Minecraft world following the different notes and tasks to make the game a lot of fun, I think Notch saw these and thought that it would be a great addition to Minecraft and make people enjoy the game even more!

There are lots of places that you can find these adventure maps, if you want to try some just google it! there's plenty of them around to try and test out :) maybe I will try some out and do reviews on them in the future.

All For Now

P.S. Sorry this weeks is a little empty, not got much time and everything right now, thanks for understanding :)

Sorry again everyone for lack of posts, been really busy with the girlfriend for the last few days as I am again today as well, depending on what time I get back today I might be able to make a new post but it's unlikely, still got lots to do on tomorrows Minecraft Monday which may have to not include my project as its not near completion yet.
Just a quick update to explain why there has been no posts, hopefully I will be able to get some done this week coming with little interruptions :)

Today started out with excitement as I thought I was going to see my girlfriend today, I woke up so happy it was crazy with a few texts to her I had decided to lazy around and get ready later, but then when it got to later I got a text which basically said she might be able to see me, at this point I was thinking 'I knew something would happen blehh ffs' and lots more but it turns out she did get here so YAY :D it's crazy how much I can miss her in such a short time.

Well shes gone now, left about an hour ago after we had some Pizza so apart from this I've spent most my day doing exactly what I did for the last few days, LoL and Yogscast, Watched some of Torchwood as well (If you don't know what that is google it, I may do a post on it later) 

Working on something to post on next weeks Minecraft Monday, it's not that great but something I did haha
Will probably go for another few games of LoL before bed.

Oh by the way I completed that Zombie game I posted, cause I so didn't stay up till 2am to race my friend at who could beat it first......>.>

Only one more day till I get to see my girl :D I can't wait I've missed her like crazy, she really is my world but anyway enough about that you will be bored if I posted a whole post about her and all the love stuff xD

Today consisted of......

Playing some Minecraft - Mining and building houses

Learning to Play Malzahar on League of Legends - Went pretty well if I may say so myself, I enjoy playing him he is quite a fun and interesting character just gotta work out the best items to be carrying with him.

Playing a Flash Game - Yes just the one, its pretty awesome it's called Impale http://www.addictinggames.com/action-games/impale-game.jsp
The basic idea of the game is to throw zombies at different targets such as spikes, bombs, spinning blades and much more! It's very addictive and quite a lot of fun however if you get stuck it can be so annoying! The aim is to complete every level with the least amount of Zombies used if you use less that 1000 total bonus levels are unlocked so give it a try!

And as always watching Yogscast, I don't watch it too much do I?...

Up to 28 followers now thanks a lot guys! I'm pretty sure I'm following you all as well, there are some really great blogs out there hoping more people come along soon.

Here's a GIF as a thank you xD what a catch!

I'm a Dwarf and I'm digging a hole...

Guess this is a Minecraft thing but I'll post it today anyway, As I've said before watching lots of Yogscast and those who watch it will probably know this song haha :D 

   Awesome little song sung by Simon.

   Yes I know it's random and weird but it's been 

   stuck in my head for nearly a week now xD

Daily Post 17

It's been a few days since I did a daily post, maybe I should change the name of them or something as they are becoming less and less daily, oh well.
With the girlfriend gone away until Thursday I have very little to do, I know I could work on the blog and get some great posts out and I have done this a little but I just don't really have the motivation to do anything at the moment, I dunno I guess missing her has effected me more than I thought you probably think I'm being stupid but that's just how I'm feeling :/

So to try and keep myself occupied I decided to start cleaning up my room...why did I decide this! I mean seriously it's the most boring, crap and generally most hated thing to be doing with free time but I did, well I did a little which mainly involved moving large amounts of stuff from the floor to my bed and now I have to sort it or I can't sleep...maybe my subconscious knew this and wanted to make sure I did it...who knows, All I know is there's a massive pile of stuff in the way of me sleeping comfortably. The urge to just push all the stuff on the floor is overwhelming but I know I shouldn't as it will just lead to more work for me later.
As a break from this I started playing League of Legends (LoL) again for a few games, Now I'm not the greatest player by any means, really I'm probably below average but I have fun and people don't expect the kills I get with Morgana (a character in the game) especially early on which makes it fun to see peoples reactions. I might do some separate posts about LoL another time (let me know what you think)

Anyway lots to do before I can sleep so I better get started!
Shout out to Zombie of zombieseverywhere.org for helping me with yesterdays post, hopefully they are working correctly so all is good again :)

Let Me Google That For You - Site Review

Let Me Google That For You is a great site that allows you to send a google search to your friends without all the hastle of the random numbers and letters that we don't really understand after them,

Im sure many of you have already heard of this site but some may not so here is a little post about it :)

So here it is, LMGTFY is a very simple website that allows you to google something for someone else to see without all the numbers and letters in a normal google search, here are some examples:

Minecraft Monday Week 1

So I've decided to have Minecraft Monday, this will be anything to do with Minecraft that I want to post so some weeks it could be lots of stuff and others could be just one or two :) Hope you like the idea!


So first...

I saw this and thought hmm would be good, what would you call it though? 
Obsidian Sword is a little boring...
Dark Sword
Black Sword
hmm....
Anyway just thought this was interesting. 












How about a little introduction to Minecraft...
Taken from the website: www.minecraft.net

Minecraft is a game about placing blocks to build anything you can imagine. At night monsters come out, make sure to build a shelter before that happens. It also has music by C418! So far 10,906,377 people have registered and 2,879,089 people bought the game.

 If you visit the site you will find this video on the front page, it sums up Minecraft quite well I think. 

An interesting idea for a game really and to think it was all programmed pretty much by one guy, Markus "Notch" Persson, he spent the good part of 2 years creating this game which is still only in Beta however with sales as high as they are already it's going to be a hit for a long time. 

Also it seems the website data has not been updated as Notch reported early this month of over 10 million Minecraft Users!!

Next Week....

A bit about Notch

Crafting

and probably something else :)

Bleh!

Ok so no post yesterday...what happened!?!

Well was pretty busy all day so didn't really have time but mainly Its cause I got an email from Google...

ahh the dreaded email...bleh bleh bleh we are closing your adsense account bleh bleh stupid bullshit about fake clickers and stuff.

Well I've appealed but it's unlikely to actually change anything so don't know exactly what I'm going to be doing :/ I enjoy blogging yes but the potential for some income was very nice :/

I'll probably continue posting but I'm busy looking for other ways that are better than adsense

Sorry for all this crap

Home after a busy day in town with the girlfriend :)
For the first time ever in the 15 months that we've been together we went shopping and I bought something for me and not her! haha got a new hoodie and this awesome batman t-shirt so that's me done for new clothes this year.
up to 18 followers now so thanks a lot everyone! hope that you all enjoy reading my dribble that I post here and keep commenting :)

Chicken Pie for dinner was really nice, I dunno why but pie is just amazing, i mean you get the really nice meat and the delicious gravy inside and this awesome crispy crusty pastry on the outside, throw some mashed potatoes and veg and its gotta be one of the best dinners ever!





Feel a little tired now though so not really in the mood to do very much, so gunna check out some of you're awesome blogs and see what I can come up with myself :)
Spent a large amount of time in a pet store today, the girlfriend loves pets so she had to go look at 'the cute little faces' as she puts it haha
I have to admit some of them are quite cute though xD

Anyway need sleep

Last day was today so now 4 weeks off which should be great, relax and sleeping is on the menu but also a lot of blog stuff hopefully,
Just to keep you up to date I've got a number of things that I am working on to see if they are good enough to blog about and some cool stuff that I will probably post about sometime.
Thank you so much for you're support, everyone who's commenting and following it really helps to give me motivation to do more and try and make my blog as good as some of yours!
So keep an eye out for stuff in the next week, its unlikely anything new other than dailys will be posted this weekend out with the girlfriend pretty much all weekend so yeah :)

Daily Post 14

Ok guys and gals hoping to have a good post today! :D at least a good Daily one that is, Sorry about the last few days being quite quiet and not visiting all of your blogs as well but I shall get around to that as soon as I finish this post! :D
That's it for me, no more talk about stupid coursework and deadlines until sometime in October I believe so you will not have to hear about them at all for all that time after this post, I promise, last time....
So deadline was today, I needed 3 units for every subject that's a total of 9 units and I managed to get what is basically 7 fully completed and 3 halfway through so I should be ok, they can't complain at me for not getting work done if the teacher has had the work for over a month and not marked it haha.
Anyway that's what's mainly been taking up my time working to ensure that I don't get kicked out for not doing my coursework (agh the dreaded word again sorry!) aside from that this week has gone quite quickly to say its the last week for a month (yes I have crappy weird holidays) looking to try and spend as much time with the girlfriend as I can before Monday as she goes away for a few days and will miss her loads.

So while I've been sort of 'inactive' in the blogging world I thought I would find something for me to do some great posts on...well that didn't happen so It looks like its just daily stuff for awhile sorry guys, I will however let you know that I'm planning to try and do another post like my Black and White 2 one but on another game in the next week or so, make sure you look out for that!
Still watching lots of Yogscast, I guess they are a main topic that I have spoken about again and again but I just love their videos so I will keep watching them!
Been messing around on an online multiplayer game by the name of Tribal Wars .Net it's a pretty good game if you know what you're doing and great for people with little time to play games lots and lots, you can jump on for maybe 40 or 50 minutes sort stuff out to do it while you're away and come back, I guess its just something I like most people probably won't but if you do then have fun playing it!

List of the game short-cuts on my desktop xD

On my laptop I've got a number of games which I pretty much have not even touched, such as Crysis 2, Shogun 2, Starcraft 2 and a few others, I can't help but think I should do something with them but I'm not a great player that I can record myself playing them or anything like that, I was thinking of finding a new game and blogging as I play through it exploring the world and learning as I blog sharing it with everyone of course it will have to include spoilers but still something fun to do...I dunno I'll have to look into it some more, let me know what you guys think!

Hmm think this is all for now, I'll be leaving the Tetris game at the bottom of the blog for awhile longer till I can find something else to replace it so be sure to check it out and post a score!
---maybe a weekly post with a game in it and a competition who can get the highest score gets a blog post on them (not much I know but it's the best I can do) --- ill have too think about it...
